How many CCW holders actually carry

[TheLawson]

It's inconvenient to carry when I have to go to school. I generally (read better than 90%) carry when I'm not at school. If I didn't have to become a helpless victim to get a higher education I would carry pretty much 100%.

Then again, my school has a sign that prevents mass murders and the like out. There is one at every entrance, I think they form a magical barrier.

Maybe 50% of the people on a gun/home and gardens forum but far less in the general public.

I would agree with this. Most choose not to carry, but have the option when they want to.

That's what I like about it. I like having the option. We keep guns in both cars though.

Every day, no days off.

I do when I am able to but I can't at work or even have it in my car at work so, not as often as I like.

When not physically at work...it's about 90%, and that 10% missing includes the places where the laws won't let me. Part of getting out of my truck at work is de-arming myself. At our old office, I could carry.....but it was also in the 'hood. Our nice new pretty and fancy office that's part of this new corporate complex.....firearm free by corporate decree....and tobacco free too. The rules state leave gun in the vehicle...so I do. But as soon as I get back in the truck...I'm armed again, even if just for my lunch break.

I also carry at home. I live in the middle of nowhere after all. Gravel roads, the sort of place you may have to give cops directions to find ya know?

Before moving to Louisiana, I carried every single day, wherever allowed by Florida law. Now, I work in Mandeville and there is a STRICT "No Firearms Allowed Inside The Premises" policy, where any violation of the policy is subject to swift and immediate termination. Despite the fact that I informed and provided proof to my employer that I am an active LA CHP holder, the policy remains in place, with absolutely NO exceptions.

While I'm certain I could CC at work without being caught, I've decided it's better to respect my employers wishes and adhere to the policy.


I have one of those flat, steel gun safes in my car, but to be perfectly honest, I really don't feel comfortable about leaving my EDC in the car all day long. This discomfort arose after my car was stolen about four years ago; it really changed the way I think about vehicle security.

I carry from brush to brush. Brush my teeth in the morning till brusshing teeth before bed. Y ajust never know.

On when my pants go on, off when they come off. Everywhere its legal so pretty much everywhere except Sun morning.

 

[Homoudont]

I have mine conceal carry and almost never carry. I may carry 5% of the time I am out of the house. I like to have the option to carry which is the reason I have it

 

[madwabbit]

carry 24/7, zero exceptions. the only time disarmed in public since receiving ccw was walking into courthouse to get marriage certificate. everywhere else, well... i guess i fail to see the "magical signs". When im arrested for defending myself at one of the "no-carry" places, you can refer to me as the "living criminal" as opposed to "the dead guy".

ps: "concealed" translates roughly to "concealed incredibly well so as to savor the element of surprise."

cheers

All day every day.

I carry about 75% of the time I go out. The one of the times I didn't I was held up by gun point, not a good feeling. He came out of nowhere waving a gun. I would not been able to draw it at the time if I had it with me. I thank God I am alive and now more alert of surroundings and now I carry when I am out.

 

[aherring1983]

I'd say I carry about 80 %, but always have one within hands reach except at work

 

[madwabbit]

after terminating an employee who rumored threats to come shoot up the place, I started carrying at work against their "policy" in a IWB tuckable holster. hides perfectly, and i sit behind my desk most of the day anyway.

 

[kcinnick]

I am a little different since I don't have to venture out to work. I always have a gun handy, and always carry when I leave the house. Exception is when I go to crossfit, kind of hard to carry a gun doing that kind of activity in the clothes worn.

 

[sportsbud]

Well that reminded me, I needed to get the ball rolling on my LA CHL, so just signed up for the April 13th class at Bearco... they were quick to charge the card lol...

That's one of those things you don't want to have said online.
